Oswald’s gravestone returned to Texas

DALLAS — A stone that once marked the grave of President John F. Kennedy’s assassin has been returned to Texas after an ownership dispute.

David Card, 75, of Dallas, has the granite marker after a settlement with Historic Auto Attractions of Roscoe, Illinois. The case over Lee Harvey Oswald’s gravestone was settled out of court last month, KTVT-TV reported.

The gravestone, believed to be the original marker for Oswald’s grave, has his name, his birth date of Oct. 18, 1939, and his date of death, Nov. 24, 1963.

Oswald was in police custody when club owner Jack Ruby fatally shot him two days after Kennedy’s death.

Card claims Oswald’s mother stored the stone in her Fort Worth home.
